VIP was 100% worth it. We still got the full Taco Fest experience, but having the lounge and private bar made the whole day so much better.

Jessica M.

The front-of-stage access alone made VIP worth it for us. We were right in the middle of everything without fighting for a spot.

Daniel R.

We loved having somewhere to recharge between food, drinks, and music. The VIP lounge was such a nice break without feeling removed from the festival.

Marissa G.

The tequila tasting was one of our favorite parts of the day. It made VIP feel like its own experience on top of everything else happening at Taco Fest.

Anthony C.

If you’re planning on spending the whole day at Viva Taco Fest, get VIP. The extra space, private bar, and upgraded restrooms make a huge difference.

Samantha L.

VIP gave us the best of both worlds. We could be right up front for the music, then head back to the lounge when we wanted a little more space.

Carlos V.

We came for the tacos, but VIP ended up being one of the best parts. The tequila tasting and front-of-stage area were definitely highlights.

Brianna T.

It was nice having a home base during the festival. We could grab a drink, sit down for a bit, then head right back into everything.

Michael S.

The festival has so much going on, and VIP made it really easy to enjoy the entire day without feeling worn out halfway through.

Natalie P.

We would absolutely do VIP again. You still get all the energy of Viva Taco Fest, just with a few extras that make the experience even better.
